Merge branch 'akpm' (aka "Andrew's patch-bomb")
Andrew elucidates: - First installmeant of MM. We have a HUGE number of MM patches this time. It's crazy. - MAINTAINERS updates - backlight updates - leds - checkpatch updates - misc ELF stuff - rtc updates - reiserfs - procfs - some misc other bits * akpm: (124 commits) user namespace: make signal.c respect user namespaces workqueue: make alloc_workqueue() take printf fmt and args for name procfs: add hidepid= and gid= mount options procfs: parse mount options procfs: introduce the /proc/<pid>/map_files/ directory procfs: make proc_get_link to use dentry instead of inode signal: add block_sigmask() for adding sigmask to current->blocked sparc: make SA_NOMASK a synonym of SA_NODEFER reiserfs: don't lock root inode searching reiserfs: don't lock journal_init() reiserfs: delay reiserfs lock until journal initialization reiserfs: delete comments referring to the BKL drivers/rtc/interface.c: fix alarm rollover when day or month is out-of-range drivers/rtc/rtc-twl.c: add DT support for RTC inside twl4030/twl6030 drivers/rtc/: remove redundant spi driver bus initialization drivers/rtc/rtc-jz4740.c: make jz4740_rtc_driver static drivers/rtc/rtc-mc13xxx.c: make mc13xxx_rtc_idtable static rtc: convert drivers/rtc/* to use module_platform_driver() drivers/rtc/rtc-wm831x.c: convert to devm_kzalloc() drivers/rtc/rtc-wm831x.c: remove unused period IRQ handler ...
